Hi, You are right, I was getting a bit lazy at that point.
What I was trying to get at was that if I read the letter of the guide, rather than what I think the intent is, then if 3 IPMC members vote +1 then a committer or release goes out, even if a majority of PPMC members votes -1. I was trying to clarify that in addition to 3 IPMC member votes you also need agreement from a majority of the PPMC member votes.
